The author freely admits running DOS & Linux side-by-side this way is a fragile coordination [0]. I doubt that redirection would work as one might desire. The recently updated ascii demo [1] shows calling various DOS and Linux commands, and, shows creating a text file with `dsl vi hello.txt` and then later opening that same file with `edit hello.txt`. Interestingly, the file appears written to the filesystem as `HELLO.TXT`, as MS-DOS 6.22 is case insensitive (w/o a LFN driver). I wonder what would happen if an LFN driver was added to the mix.
